The Cimmerian Hermit

No ratings yet

He became a legend in his own lifetime. A Symbolist poet, artist, photographer, art historian, translator, lecturer, and local historian — Maximilian Voloshin, known simply as Max. Everyone loved him, and he loved everyone. He embodied contradictions. He visited the Vatican, the Prado, and the Louvre, witnessed the first car rallies and flying machines, attended Silver Age poetry circles and Montmartre artist gatherings, and took part in literary hoaxes. But no matter where he went, he always returned to Feodosia.
